A possible breakthrough in treating osteoporosis
10.02.2023
Researchers from the Jagiellonian University have designed a material that could help refill bone cavities and at the same time serve as a carrier for osteoporosis medication. The invention could revolutionise the treatment of osteoporosis, since it could allow doctors to deliver drugs with strong side effects precisely where they are needed, reducing the need to rely on systemic drug administration.

How our enzymes protect themselves
09.02.2023
Protein S-persulfidation (P-SSH) is recognized as a common posttranslational modification. It occurs under basal conditions and is often observed to be elevated under stress conditions. However, the mechanism(s) by which proteins are persulfidated inside cells have remained unclear. Very recent work from University of Heidelberg in collaboration with the Max Planck Research Group at the JU Małopolska Centre of Biotechnology (JU MCB) shows how this small chemical modification can be installed by a direct enzymatic reaction.

Solving the mystery of insect metamorphosis
07.02.2023
Why do adult cockroaches and their nymphs look nearly identical, while caterpillars are vastly different from butterflies? What are the mechanisms of insect metamorphosis? According to scientists from the Institute of Evolutionary Biology in Barcelona, Kyoto University and JU Faculty of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Biotechnology, the evolutionary differences in this process may be caused by the levels of E93 protein in insect embryos.
